How to make upper/ lower case not matter?

[jdaviescoates]

I've got the following shortlink set-up:

https://ud.coop/bestofbridport

And I need https://ud.coop/BESTOFBRIDPORT to work as well.

I can't add BESTOFBRIDPORT as another shortlink as it's already in use.

Is there a way I can get YOURLS to ignore case so that https://ud.coop/BESTOFBRIDPORT works exactly the same as https://ud.coop/bestofbridport ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

So I'll see if I can install them and if any of them work...

Seems like this was already reported upstream at https://github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS/issues/2876

Pending someone to work on a merge request.

@nebulon I asked on their discussion forum

https://github.com/orgs/YOURLS/discussions/3551

They closed it and pointed me at this:

Sounds like we just need to "change from [base] 36 to 62, because charset will expand"

But I've no idea how we do that. Hopefully you do?

No clue what this means. Never heard of this terminology before.

This seems to be related to this setting https://github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS/blob/ecfc54a2aff8e96cfbd5f292676350ee5eff3cd1/user/config-sample.php#L71 but it is also unclear to me so far what implications that has.

I asked again in their discussion forum and they pointed me at the various Case Insensitive plugins here:

So I'll see if I can install them and if any of them work...
